Orthopedic technology

The software that prints personalized casts

Gero is a technology platform for personalized orthopedics. A tablet scan goes in; an automatically designed, 3D-printed cast comes out, fitted to one patient.

Patient treatments on the Gero platform

The Gero platform

Software is the product. The cast is its output.

Four layers built in-house turn a clinic visit into a manufactured, patient-specific medical device, with no plaster room and no specialist skills.

  1. 01Scan

    Gero App

    An iPad app with a structured-light sensor captures the limb in under two minutes, accurate to 1 mm. The clinician enters patient details, picks the cast type and orders in the same visit.

  2. 02Design

    Design Engine

    Computer vision finds 21 anatomical keypoints, builds a hand skeleton and extracts the limb's contours. A parametric model then fits the cast to the patient and applies the chosen pattern.

    Cloud platform

    A serverless backend runs orders, clinics, payments and patient notifications. An admin console gives the team full control of the catalogue, orders and support.

  4. 04Print

    Production network

    Print-ready files go to certified additive-manufacturing partners. Casts are printed, finished and shipped to the clinic within 3 days.

From scan to model

One visit, one tablet, one order

The clinician scans, reviews the 3D model on screen and taps Done. The design engine takes it from there: the cast is generated, checked and sent to print automatically.

Made by additive manufacturing

From powder bed to patient

Every Gero cast is printed layer by layer from a file our software generated for one patient. Drag the handle to see a cast straight out of the printer, and the finished product.

Industrial powder-bed printing makes the open rhombus lattice possible: strong where the fracture needs support, open everywhere else for air and water.

In the clinic

Four steps, one app

The clinic receives an iPad with the Gero app installed. After a short training session, staff scan patients and order casts on their own.

  1. 01

    scan

    The patient's limb is scanned with the Gero app. A ONE Splint goes on for the first days.

  2. 02

    customize

    Choose the cast type, pattern and colour, and preview the result in the app.

  3. 03

    print

    The design engine generates the cast and it's 3D printed by our production network.

  4. 04

    heal

    The cast arrives within 3 days and replaces the splint in seconds. Removal needs no saw.

What patients say

Healing without putting life on hold

When I broke my left hand, I was worried about dealing with an itchy, bulky cast. But Gero3D's cast was so comfortable, I didn't feel any itching at all! I even went swimming in the sea.
